I'm mexican, and by law in my country the police can't touch you a single hair if they catch you carring personal dosis of drug (the quantitie changes by the drug, is not the same for marijuana to cocaine, heroin or extasis)

But after read some questions in yahoo answers (USA), it looks that is not the same thing there

What is the law there? Is not the same?

I am a fairly new LEO, and I was going through my statute book, and I read that no reasonable suspicion is required to have a "concensual encounter" with a citizen. This is fine, however, the statute book states that, "if reasonable suspicion is developed as a result of such an encounter, the officer may continue the investigation, and if PC is developed, may make an arrest."
If a habitual drug dealer is speaking to me, then turns and runs, does his not qualify as reasonable suspicion for me? My Corporal says no, but the book indicates otherwise. Any thoughts from veteran LEO's? Thanks.

HAY IDEA< Firs first of all who said Afzal did not got a fare trial? Only few said then you do not believe in the judiciary?. Indian president is siding him now then which Muslim you what to support him? This country will improve when all the religion support should be eliminated and start killing the culprits immediately who ever do crimes.
I believe in Fight for human rights but never ever support a pig who want to take a upper hand and destroy people and nation. There should not be any judge from muslim community in the panel that I agree with you. Congress is too soft for muslims. Lets wait and see what will happen then we’ll surely take a wonderful decision.

Hi people.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this articlae to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most free people in the world, since thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don't even excist in Iran.Our goverment tried to not to let western cultures influence ours, by prohibiting videos and sattelites, but in Iran every single house has one, so the government's agreed with having them.Currently, they don't provide high-speed internet, cos they think people may watch sextual and immoral films on the internet, however the highest speed in Iran at present is 128 k, but they're now thinking of providing 500 k speed.I know whatever our government says is for our own good.You know why? Let me give you an example:I suppose kissing in public is not forbiddon where you live, cos it's a part of your culture.But doing the same thing here is offensive.It's not that it's bad or something.You need to act according to your culture.People who don't, and have unreasonable behaviour that is considered immoral behaviour, are considered hooligans. Sattelite channels had a serious influence on people, now the way they wear clothes sounds like western countries, only there's scarves that don't don't seem to be worn because we're Muslems.People wear fashionable scarves to make themselves more attractive and most part of they hair is out.They do whatever they wish to, and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's now slighty normal in Iran, since people seem to have got used to such acts and behavioures.Most of the rules that seem not to be reasonable are abolished almost afer 1-2 years, because people really don't obey them.Whether those rules exist or not Iranians do whatever they wish to! You really need to pay a visit to Iran and you'll be surprised seeing that what you imagined before and how the real Iran is! It's wonderful, believe me.People, the Iran you knew, is related to at least 20 years ago, and now everything's so great.
Some people think music is forbiddon in Iran, but did you know that Iranian pop music has won the nobel prize in France?Iran's full of music nd they're all current pop music.The best you've ever heard, and in case you're curious to hear some, e-mail me and I'll send you some.
Oh, and some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! What would you tell me if I tell you that women are now overtaking Iran? They're behaved very well, most of the times they're the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities, they get the best jobs, they've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands seem to be under control of women and they have to buy them expensive things and not to treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to divorce them, and then the husband'll have to pay them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford paying that amount of money! (so they can simply sit in the corner of prison! lol)
Some people think, Iran's a desert! People Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not!
This is a photo of Tehran: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Tehran-2-1600.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran

"President Bush is likely to send anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 additional troops to Iraq as part of his yet-to-be-announced new Iraq strategy."
-- CNN, 1/3/07

VERSUS

"Sending more Americans would undermine our strategy of encouraging Iraqis to take the lead in this fight. And sending more Americans would suggest that we intend to stay forever, when we are, in fact, working for the day when Iraq can defend itself and we can leave."
-- President Bush, 6/28/05

I am specifically interested in the law that says 'any child under the age of 18 who dies suddenly and unexpectedly must have an autopsy performed.' It seems this is common knowledge however, no one can tell me where the law is and I am unable to find it myself.

My ex- step mother is a Hamburger and coke short of a Happy meal. (seriously) So she was recently approved to received about $442.00 a month in Disability Benefits. (not ssi because she did work for about 8 years)
I looked it up on the SSA.gov website and my bro does qualify to receive children benefits under her. She really needs the money cuz 442 just doesn't cut it.
But anyhow, she is so afraid that if she does apply my brother for the children benefits, they are gonna see her as greedy and look for ways to drop her benefits.
Also my dad and her divorced in 2000.
In 1980 my dad was helping my grandpa log when a log fell off the truck and smashed his body. He has been on SSI since. He is good to her still, paying her bills and allowing her to live on his land & such but she is also afraid that they will go after him for child support and she doesn't want that since he is only getting 600 a month in SSI.

Do you think that any of this is anything to worry about?

so why does it seem all of the polititions try there best to divide the people of this nation (u.s.a). such as through policical parties, social class, tax brackets, being selfish by only going against what the other party wants, lying to the aerican people, and such. shouldnt they be working towrard giving the people back the full power and copromising with each other to make this nation a better place for all.
